PRICES IN CANADA.
In the stability of motor vehicle prices the United States has been more fortunate recently than Canada. Prices have recently risen from £1 to £9 on most of the cars marketed in Canada. Already Liberal members in the Canadian Parliament are demanding further cute in motor car duties to compensate for the increases. The upward revision of Canadian prices reflects, for one thing, the rise' in ""the sales tax from 6 per cent to 8 per cent. The-increases have by no means reflected a uniform rise of 2 per cent,, however. The average increase around Toronto, for instance, has been about £5, even on cars selling for less than £200.' •
